BOOT PROBLEM

[Danweldore]

Hey guys,

So i have just finished building my pc, and when i turn it on, there is no video output to my monitor.

I have the video card connected to the monitor using a HDMI cable.

I have tried several times, but the monitor just would not get a signal.

 

Specs:

AMD FX8350

MSI 970 Gaming Mobo

Sapphire R9 280X TOXIC

8GB DDR3 RAM

750 Watt Cooler Master

 

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks!

Dan

does your motherboard have an hdmi port in it?

No my motherboard does not have an HDMI port, or any other video port. No DVI, VGA or DisplayPort either.

Yes. The graphics card fans spin, it has power, and the LED's on the graphics card turn on as well.

try reseating your ram, making sure its seated properly.

Possibly, by any chance are you using something like a TV for a display. I once had a similar situation where a new video card I installed wouldn't wake up my 47" Sony TV and I vaguely remember having to resort to connecting an actual monitor to the other port (and possibly making it the primary one) before the TV would be given/sent a signal, at which point it would remain on even after redisconnecting the old temporary monitor, until that is, that I turned off computer again, so I had to resort to leaving the old monitor hooked up, not used and sitting on the floor.

So you had to have the old monitor connected for the new monitor to work?

Try using just one ram stick in each slot and see what happens .... then try two. Because things appear to boot and then stop, it could well be a RAM issue.

Try connecting the display to your motherboard. I find it hard to believe it doesn't have any video outputs, that can't be right...

Do you hear any beeping when you power on the machine? Read the manual on what ramslot you should be using and try with 1 stick of ram first, if it posts enable xmp.
